    Does this G8 phone include a removable battery? I don't buy any phone without an SD Card slot and a removable battery. Samsung is slowly going away as a vendor from which I'll buy future phones.

    There has been no mention anywhere whether or not the battery is removable, so even I am unaware about that information currently.
    Will inform you as soon as I come to know.
